I was hoping someone could please post a picture of a flower, or the way I can tell my pepper plant are ready to produce. Also, what causes a healthy squash plant to yellow and die? I never planted either one before. Thank-you! green peppers and zucchini(squash)

You will know your pepper plant is ready to produce when it flowers. You will know whether or not the flower will become a pepper when the stem thickens and elongates. The flowers that aren't pollinated, meaning they will turn into a pepper, eventually turn yellow and drop off.
